Jimmy Dunne / Jamie Vardy record

[JJ Sefton]

Jimmy Dunne is slowly becoming my second most favourite Blade of all time.

Have we ever had a more formidable goal scorer? I think we should make more of him.

Not consistently at the highest level, I would suspect.

Don't want to nitpick but in the 1931/32 season United only scored 80 goals in 42 games and were 7th that year. That's a low number by today's standards.

Last season Chelsea won it with 73, Man City 83 and Arsenal 71.

Obviously only 38 games. Southampton were 7th with 54

Fair comment.

Vardy says we looked at him twice, he got sent off both times (today's Guardian)

Great read that. And an interesting factoid in there (which might be common knowledge, but I didn't know it): Arsenal great (& football great) Herbert Chapman was a Sheffielder who once played for Sheffield United!

Well done & great credit to Vardy, but here's hoping his run stops at Swansea today. He'll get to keep the Sky record.

Is that the one with Francis Monkman on it?

Vardy failed to score. Record's still yours Jimmy.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Ha. Put that in your crackpipe and smoke it you piggy bastard.

Said Ranieri after the match.

I didn't know that either, shame we never gave him the manager's job

Herbert Chapman played in the match shown in the video. I have never been able to identify him.

There was a pub named after him on the Holloway Road. It changed its name.

It seems that Jamie Vardy is chasing an ex Blade for the number of games scored in record. I never knew this, but as it was pre premier league, apparently it doesn't count as far as SKY are concerned.

Sorry for posting a Martin Samuel article!

Good article. I think even Samuel knows we have suffered enough for peace to break out from him

This was on the front cover of our local rag in Leicester.
Nice pun in the headline, but here's a better one: "A Dozen Dozen't Come Easy"
